Just wondering what the recommended method for using infragistics on the webserver is. Is it better to install infragistics on the webserver so the controls are in the GAC, or to have them marked as "Copy Local" on the project so they go into the project folder on the web server? I can see pros and cons to both. Just wondering what the recommendation is. Thanks.
I got this link from the support guru's.

Its not an in-depth GAC vs copy local, but it does recommend copying the dll's to the GAC when possible.
Hi,
Never use GAC. If you run serveral different Websites and want to upgrade from v6.1 to v8.1. It´s horrible: you have to change all your websites at all. Otherwise the following disaster occured without exclusion:
Error 1 The type 'Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.UltraWebGrid' exists in both 'c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Infragistics2.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.v8.1\8.1.20081.1000__7dd5c3163f2cd0cb\Infragistics2.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.v8.1.dll' and 'c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Infragistics2.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.v6.1\6.1.20061.1030__7dd5c3163f2cd0cb\Infragistics2.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.v6.1.dll' c:\inetpub\wwwroot\... 77
the website does not know which assembly to choose. What a nice feature. Never use GAC
